OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by SailorsWife'10 on January 8, 2011 at 7:12pm: No problem! :)

Comment by emlovee on January 8, 2011 at 7:02pm: awesome thanks (:

Comment by SailorsWife'10 on January 8, 2011 at 12:23pm: I don't think jeans is a big deal, however if you like maybe kachi's? (Think that's how you spell it). Earlier Brit had said "our men aren't going to care what we look like, their not interested in that anyways" and I think she's correct. Our SR's are missing us like hell and their not going to even remember what you wore to their graduation. So wear what you feel comfortable in!

PS. Congrats on the pregnancy! I can't wait for my husband and I to start trying. :)

Comment by texasmom Prototype on January 8, 2011 at 11:20am: It's 11 degrees right now in GL. I'm from Texas and that is just way to cold.

Comment by texasmom Prototype on January 8, 2011 at 11:19am: I also think nice jeans and sweater would be more than fine. It is going to be way to cold for dresses. imo. Congrats on the baby!

Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on January 8, 2011 at 10:37am: That's what im doing :)

Comment by emlovee on January 8, 2011 at 3:06am: ok so theires alot of moms here who know what its like to be a huge pregnant person lol, i have been searching for something to wear to graduation and i need HELPP! everyone tells me "dont wear jeans is disrespectful to your sailor after he did all that work he wants it to be special and dressy" well i decided i have the right to wear jeans cuz it is hard to find a dress or something else that makes me feel good and will make me look somewhat sexy for my fiance lol. so i am wondering 1.do u have any suggestions on what i should wear? i will be turning 7 months pregnant the day after graduation. 2.do you think if i just wear some nice jeans and a nice sweater "not hoodie" that it will be fine? GAHH this is harder then it should be lol

Comment by emlovee on January 8, 2011 at 3:02am: jessicaB-sailor Mom thank you for the link (: its great to see all the different divisions graduating that day, and their oppinions on things.
